Amma writes all these
blogs about me and my sister. Now it is I, Abhay Karanth, expressing my thoughts on
Onestoryaday. It is my grandmother's birthday today! I always make cards for all of my family members' birthdays but this
time I've decided to key in a guest post on Amma's blog as my grandmother is on a travel trip
to Gujarat!
What do grandmothers mean to us? To me, my
grandmother is happiness, laughter, maths, football and fun! My grandmother makes jokes when you least expect it and makes everyone laugh. I always practice Maths
with my grandmother as she is a retired Maths professor and I don't forget to go
brag about it at school, even to my teachers!
One of my favourite TV
shows is a show called "Young Sheldon" and I can relate to Sheldon's
relationship with his grandmother whom he calls Meemaw. Meemaw is just like my
grandmother except that my grandmother is more caring. Meemaw has a pet name
for Sheldon and calls him 'Moonpie' and my grandmother calls me 'Acchu'. Meemaw
means a lot to Sheldon and so does my grandma to me!
As every post on amma's
blog has a book a to go with, I read "Ninja Nani" by Lavanya Karthik. Deepu is an ordinary boy and loves watching
the TV show Ninja Dragon. But his grandmother is always sitting on the couch
and watching her cooking shows. What can Deepu do? Snatch the remote! But while
fighting for the remote, his nani goes bananas and turns into a ninja warrior
and does all the moves that a Ninja does! Well, will Deepu survive this
crazy evening as nani uses her recently acquired ninja powers to catch the burglars
in the park? Read on to find out. I love the fact that Ninja nani is extremely funny and always
cracking jokes but when it comes to her grandson, she is extremely
protective....just like my grandma. I would give this book a 4.5 stars out of
5.
I know my grandmother
is going to read this so I would like to wish her a very happy birthday and
this day comes once in a year and she should enjoy it. I would like to end by
thanking every single grandmother in the world for always being there for your
grand kids! Happy birthday to my Ninja nani.
